llowing unauthorised actions are carried
out when the car is locked:
•
Opening of vehicle with mechanical key without switching ignition on
within the next 15 seconds
•
Opening a door
•
Opening the bonnet
•
Opening the tailgate
•
Ignition switched on with a non-validated key.
•
Movements in the driving compartment (vehicles with a volume sensor)
•
Towing of the vehicle
7)
•
Tilt angle (tow-away protection)
7)
•
Undue manipulation of the alarm
•
Battery handling
The acoustic signals sound and the indicators flash for approx. 30 seconds.
This may be repeated up to 10 times depending on the country.
How to switch the alarm off
To deactivate the anti-theft alarm, turn the key to the opening direction, open
the door and switch the ignition on, or press the unlocking button on the
remote control.
In vehicles equipped with an anti-theft alarm system, you have 15 seconds to
insert the key in the ignition lock and activate the ignition if the vehicle is
opened using the driver's door key.
Otherwise, the alarm will trigger for 30 sec. and the ignition will be blocked.
Note
•
After 28 days, the indicator light will be switched off to prevent the battery
from exhausting if the vehicle has been left parked for a long period of time.
The alarm system remains activated.
•
The alarm will trigger again if attempts are made to open another protec-
tion zone.
•
The alarm system can be activated or deactivated using the remote
control. ⇒page 77.

Unlocking and locking
80The interior monitor and the anti-towing alarm are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The interior monitor and anti-towing alarm (tilt sensor) are automatically
switched on when the anti-theft alarm is switched on. In order to activate it,
all the doors and the tailgate must be closed.
If you wish to disconnect the interior monitor and the anti-towing system, it
must be done each time that the vehicle is locked; if not, they will connect
automatically.
The interior monitor and the anti-towing system should be disconnected if
animals are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise, their movements will
trigger the alarm) or when, for example, the vehicle is transported or has to
be towed with only one axle on the ground.
False alarms
The interior monitor only operates co rrectly if the vehicle is completely
closed. Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:•
opened windows (partially or fully)
•
panoramic glass roof/sunblind open (partially or completely).
•
movement of objects inside the vehicle, such as loose papers, items
hanging from the rear view mirror (air fresheners), etc.Note
•
If the vehicle is relocked and the al arm is activated without the volumetric
sensor function, relocking will activate the alarm with all its functions, except
the volumetric sensor. This function is reactivated when the alarm is switched
on again, unless it is deliberately switched off.
•
If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be indi-
cated by a flashing of the indicator on the driver's door. The flash is different
to the flash indicating the alarm is activated.
•
The vibration of a mobile phone left inside the vehicle may cause the inte-
rior monitor alarm to trigger, as both sensors react to movements and shakes
inside the vehicle.
•
If on activating the alarm, any door or the tailgate is open, only the alarm
will be activated. The inte rior monitor and the anti-towing system will only be
activated once all the doors are closed (including the tailgate).
